Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM5728,

Hi,

I am looking to make an IP Camera

I feel AM57x has all necessary things to make it perfect processor for IP Camera

I need H.264 to stream two camera outputs coming in MIPI /CSI /RGB888 format

Resolution is 1080p @25fps

is it a right choice ?

Any other suggestions / alternatives

I wish to start with beaglebone boards AI or x15 but i did not find any popular beaglebone capes to help me to kickstart

Hi,

Yes, AM5728 can handle two 1080p@25 for capture and H.264 streaming. It doesn't have CSI-2 interface though. You can capture using VIP port which is parallel data interface to bring the camera data in (multiple of such ports exist on the device.

Regards,

Manisha

1. I was going through Cross Link CSI to VIP Bridge , can i use it with AM5729 ?

2. Apart Just from Image compression, i may be required to perfom NUC, badpixel correction,whitebalance,colorspace conversion(if required)

taking that to account can AM5729 perform H.264 and above aditional tasks for for two streams of raw data at 1080p@30fps

3. Kindly provide any details of dual camera cape for beaglebone AI

Color space conversion can be feasible using VIP or VPE hardware accelerator. Rest NUC, badpixel correction,whitebalance might be possible using 2xC66x DSP core and 2xA15 depending upon your algorithm complexity. The 2x1080p@25 fps processing is done in hardware accelerator, so they won't consuming any C66x, A15 processing power.

I will route your ticket to other expert for your question #1 and #3.
